Speedos Central

What used to be a trickle is slowly swelling into a flood of competition swimmer photos, on all sorts of blogs. Hardly a day goes by anymore that I don't find 20 new photos I've never seen before. Cataloguing and sorting them has become a project.

Here are some recent serendipitous Speedo samples.

When it Rains, It Pours...Matthew



OOOPS! Sorry guys. This got scheduled before I'd finished putting in the pix. Correction here... smile

Your Daily Briefs and Hot Aussie Famous Males both posted galleries of WetSpeedos postings on Matthew Mitcham images back in November.
Many more blogs have posted about Mitcham recently --

I've posted a lot about Mitcham here, and I've been afraid of looking like "all Matthew, all the time" (anyone for an all Matthew-all-the-time blog, lemme know...) So, anyway, I chilled it for awhile. But, this month once again his publicity machine is cranking, and these galleries are too good to neglect.  These are all from The Advocate's February cover story on Mitcham.

(See all ten previous WetSpeedos postings on Mitcham here.

Happy Birthday David Davies

This morning, Tottyland has a small post on 24-year-old (as of yesterday 03-03-09) Welsh-born British Olympic swimmer David Davies (the first five shots). I've added a few more at the bottom.

US Lifeguards in Speedos?

Aussie Speedo Guy Dave Evans posted these fantastic photos of several "US lifeguards" in speedos on February 22, and I just had to repost them here.

US lifeguards don't wear speedos as a rule (I've never seen a trio like this except at gay resorts), so this is a moment to celebrate, if true.*

Dave credits a member named SwimDave2 of the WhiteSpeedos.com forum (link on our list at left) for originally posting these.

*A reader has pointed out that in the last photo, there is a license plate on the rear of the lifeguard truck that says "CA Exempt." His opinion was that the location is Santa Monica. The hill behind could easily be on the north end of Will Rogers State Beach, so perhaps! Thanks to this reader.

Shannon's Coogee Ironmen Pix

Shannon also posted some pix from the Coogee Nutri-Grain Ironman contest. I miss the water.
